🌷When it comes to the tulip season non of our vases works perfectly. Tulips have relatively short stems, they need room for leaves and they benefit from the wider neck so flowers can bloom freely. We made our special tulip vase and finally we are very happy! Do you have some particular needs for your favorite flowers? Join our amazing ceramic artist Bar at her Saturday Vase Workshop in Neubau at 13:00 and make your perfect vase. Shape your vase out of clay during 3,5 hours workshop and 2 weeks after glaze it with professional stoneware glazes. We are feeling so thrilled for the new opportunity you have, flowers lovers! ❤️

+ About the course
We are happy to invite all those who enjoy hand modeling in good company to visit us on Saturdays, in our studio in Neubau, where we will teach you how to build beautiful clay vases for your home!

In addition to stoneware clay we will also provide necessary tools and, of course, our close guidance – to make your vision come to life and model the clay into a beautiful artistic vase!

+ What you will do
In this 3-hour workshop, you will create your own ceramic vase, under the guidance of our experienced ceramists. We will learn the most useful techniques of ‘coil building’ for making beautiful ceramic vases. Maybe you have already some shape in mind or you would let your inspiration run wild, either way our instructor Bar will be with you along the way to help you to turn a piece of clay into a fully functional hand-crafted vase!

Depending on the thickness of your vase it will need 1 or 2 weeks for drying and raw firing your vase. After we fire your vase at 960° C you will comeback for a glazing workshop.Under the guidance of our great instructor you will get an access to our rich palette of professional, high temperature stoneware glazes. Glaze application will allow you to achieve incredible result turning your vase into a truly unique masterpiece.

This course includes your finished masterpiece that can be picked up about 2-3 weeks later. Of course, it’s functional – the beauty of your flowers will be emphasized in a magnificent vase from your own creation.

+ The course plan
1st day shaping – 3 h.
Between these days your vase will be dried and fired in the kiln at 960C°.

2nd day – 1-2 weeks later or later – glazing – 2 h***
After this day, your works will be high fired in the kiln at 1200C°.

*** Because the shape of the each vase will be different it will also require a different time for drying. That is why the date for glazing if in this class is more flexible than for other courses. After you complete shaping your vase your instructor will let you know when you can come back for glazing. You can then decide which date is better for you and we put in the calendar!

+ No experience required
This course is ideal for ALL ceramic beginners (no experience necessary!) but is also suitable for those who have experience with clay, and want to deepen their knowledge in hand building modeling.
